Andrew McIntosh is Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory at the
McIntosh is director of the organisation Truth in Science which promotes creationism and intelligent design.[4] In November 2006, the University of Leeds issued a statement distancing itself from creationism, and noted that McIntosh's directorship of Truth in Science is unconnected with his teaching or research.[4]
Biography
McIntosh's research group at University of Leeds has developed a new technology known as µMist which is based on the gaseous "cannon" of the bombardier beetle. In December 2010, this work received the outstanding contribution to innovation and technology title at the Times Higher Education awards in London.[5]

As an academic institution, the University wishes to distance itself publicly from theories of creationism and so-called intelligent design which cannot be verified by evidence."
